Another fine effort Mr. Connolly,
By
This review is from: Billy Connolly Live - Was It Something I Said? [DVD] (DVD)
I pre-ordered this title and was not left disapointed. Billy Connolly is the finest stand up comedian on the planet and the first 15 minutes is simply superb.
As usual Billy is at his best when he his simply ranting at what he thinks is stupid or unfair. Some old subjects are covered again but this is hard to avoid with so many dvd's released and does not take anything away from a great perfomance. Only 4 stars as i believe the various "World Tours" are better value.

Connolly Makes It Look Easy,
This review is from: Billy Connolly Live - Was It Something I Said? [DVD] (DVD)
Billy Connolly is the best stand up in the country, and there are few informed comedy critics who'd disagree. He's not always hilarious but he is always engaging and even when he's not making you cry with laughter, he can take you into his world and entertain you.
This is an improvement on the disappointing 'Live In New York' and for the most part, it's just brilliant stuff. Connolly obviously has a basic structure for each show, but unlike Eddie Izzard with his faux ad-libbing, Connolly genuinely gives flight to thoughts that sometimes take him so far off track, he has to ask the audience to put him back on the right path. I love that this was filmed in Adelaide, a lovely little Australian city often overlooked by the hustle bustle of Melbourne or Sydney. Billy loves the country too and this comes over well on this release. A few bits fall flat: the drawn out description of the musical he'd like to make never really works, and at other times he appears more angry then funny, but Billy's admittedly an odd character and he's said before that the stage is like therapy to him; the place he can vent, and I don't mind at all that he does so. A great gig by a truly gifted man. Decent running time too, at just under two hours. Watch the King show you how it's done.

Billy Connelly should be knighted,
By Realist (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Billy Connolly Live - Was It Something I Said? [DVD] (DVD)
As always Billy Connelly refreshingly cuts through the crap of political correctness with his outrageously funny outlook on everyday life. It takes a real talent to hold his audience's attention & Billy still has it in bucket loads. If you've liked his previous DVD's then you'll enjoy this. My only criticism is the last sketch goes on a little too long.
He should be knighted for his contribution to British entertainment.
